If you want something that won't bend, just get a bit of railway track and weld it to the front. What people are failing to take into account is that the bar has be designed to be many things. It has to be tough without adding too much weight. The vehicle builders these days spend a lot of money designing a car to give the best survival rate in high speed crashes. What you don't want is a bull bar that works against such designs. For example, the comment above to remove the crush cans.
ARB are one of the few bull bar manufacturers that are given vehicles before their release so that they can design an appropriate bull bar that will be available with the release of the vehicle. ARB spend a lot of time and engineering on designing a bull bar that works with the rest of the vehicles safety designs.
So don't risk killing yourself at 60mph with a bull bar that is solely designed to deflect rocks at 5mph. I use a lot of ARB gear and find it very good, well designed, well engineered, and manufactured to an appropriate quality.
